This lily popped up days before I saw it.. just this single little white flower with hints of pink on the petals was all alone across from the Big Pine Tract.

Even though these lillies commonly bloom during spring and summer, there are rare occassions they bloom in December.

Salt Marsh Caterpillar

Nature is amazing.. but how a caterpillar transforms is just mind blowing. How can this.. prickly, multi-legged creature turn into a really beautiful moth.

Have you ever thought how these insects are designed?

My theory… there are insect designers, they all gather with only a sketch book and coloring pencils in a great big open conference room surrounded by pillars and oil burners overlooking the environment they are designing the insects for. Once the insect design is completed they throw the paper in the air and wherever it lands the insect is created.
